What?s Happening in the Vineyards Now?

Posted by Balloon Rides on March 28th, 2019

Spring has arrived and work in the Napa Valley vineyards is picking up. And, as the temperature and agricultural activity heat up, the pace of the Valley’s social and cultural activities accelerates after a winter of near dormancy.

Even the colorful hot air balloon rides Napa Valley are beginning to grace the sky in greater numbers.

Springtime determines the strategies a grower will employ throughout the growing season. Nature’s weather shifts present plenty of challenges during March and April that cause the growers more stress than at any other time. Prioritizing and executing strategies during the early months will hopefully give way to a healthy mid-summer growing season and much-needed relief.

In the spring, viticulturists are observing and guiding the vines to ensure normal growth. Keeping these from growing too fast or too slowly is an exacting science to ensure the target quality of the grapes at harvest.
